Yomiuri Shimbun and Tokyo Shimbun ran daily columns titled "Prime Minister Takaichi's day" in the same period. Tokyo Shimbun's entries cover 12 to 20 October, and Yomiuri Shimbun's run through 21 October. Yomiuri also published an item titled "Summary of the prime minister's remarks" on 15 October. For these items the documents give only titles, so the prime minister's other activities and remarks are not described. [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 ]
Why it matters
The documents are routine schedule listings and give no basis for wider significance. They show that major outlets publish the prime minister's movements each day.
